And and I'll just before I turn this over to Mark, I'll just give one example of the kind of monopoly I'm talking about. CVS is a monopoly.

They own one of the largest health insurance companies. They own one of the big three PBMs. and they own the largest network of drugstores in the country. So that's a healthcare monopoly.

It is insane that one company can literally control the hospital where you pay to get care, the pharmacy where you pay for your medications, and the insurance company that decides how much you pay. It's a racket. And these monopolies are they are profiting off our pain.

A devastating diagnosis shouldn't mean a devastating invoice. And the reason our health care system is so broken is because too many politicians in both parties, if we're being honest, are either bought by or afraid of big medicine.

And and Mark Mark and I believe in the free market, but this is not a free market.

This is coverage by cartel.

And the only way that we're going to drive down these prices, the only way we're going to put our lives ahead of their bottom line is to break up these big healthcare monopolies. And that's exactly what our plan does.
